Received the note below from a lister. Thank you for calling this to our attention, Brad! Hello Jean, > www.1911census.co.uk > Free search for individuals and families on 1911 UK census. It's for England and Wales and doesn't include Scotland. Even now, Wales data hasn't made it on-line. There's also some England counties yet to be included. The Scottish census was taken under different legislation and will be separately released on its own site in 2012. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean R." <jeanrice@cet.com> To: <IRISH-IN-UK-L@rootweb.com> Cc: <IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 10:46 PM Subject: [IRELAND] RESOURCE: 1911 UK Census on Line > www.1911census.co.uk > > Free search for individuals and families on 1911 UK census.

Hi List - Playing around with the on-line 1911 England-Wales census at the web address below, I discovered that (surprise!) a number of individuals on the census who had been born in Ireland actually GAVE THE ENUMERATOR THE NAME OF THE COUNTY! Try it and see, on the advanced search. www.1911census.co.uk I was able to confirm the family lore that my paternal grandfather Michael Ford (found with his known family members at the family address on New Road, Tue Brook,West Derby, Liverpool, Lancashire, England) WAS born, apparently, in Co. Leitrim, Ireland. The 1911 English census has him down as Micheal Ford born in 1864. From my earlier documents - marriage and death in England - I knew that he was born in late 1863 or early 1864. So far, I have been unable to find a corresponding Catholic birth or christening record for him if, in fact, he was born in 1864 in/near Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim, per family lore. Not all "events" in Ireland were recorded, however.
